The government may have decided, in their uniquely fascist style, that smoking is bad for us, but we'd argue that we'll be the judge of that. In any case, stuck as we are with Draconian new laws banning a good smoke indoors, we're consigned to the UK's freezing climes whenever we fancy a quick puff.

Now some kindly venues have installed those outdoor heater things, but the vast majority have stuck two fingers up to the humble, unassuming smoker and dumped them outdoors without so much as a candle to warm their mitts. Which is a shockingly well written link into this product, which just happens to contain the word 'mitts'. Or more precisely, the word 'mittens'.

Smoking mittens are designed with the smoker who prefers to do his or her smoking without the attendant frostbite and hypothermia that goes hand in hand with the ancient art of noxious fume inhalation.

With a metal eyelet place between the forefinger and index finger, your snout sits neatly betwixt your mittens and allows you the joy of a fine smoke minus pneumonia. Who needs a smoking jacket when you've got Smoking mittens? One size fits all.
